Well…as the entire world knows, the way to get anything out of the idiot trump is to praise him or give him a made up thing like the “FIFA peace prize”…his entire life has been pay to play but sometimes it doesn’t wok out for him and that happened this weekend…he abused his pardon power again he pardoned a dem rep from Texas and his wife for taking 600K in bribes from an Azerbiajani oil company who he then did favors for…so idiot boy thought he could gain a seat in congress by getting Cuellar to switch parties and run as a repub…well idiot boy went ballistic when Cuellar announced he was running for his house seat as a dem again and the pardon was wasted…and the idiot admitted it was a quid pro quo as he raged on his loser social media platform…and this abuse of the pardon power of the presidency has spurred dems in congress to file bills to codify when and why people can be pardoned so we don’t see things like the pardoning of a past Honduran president for importing hundreds of tons of cocaine into the US that idiot boy did last week…geez…

December 8th
Well…damn, it’s only 4 degrees out here and that is January weather and we’re barely into December…ick…didn’t sleep much and was up around 5am but that still doesn’t mean I’ll get a nap in later..I really wish I could…pouring down the coffee so I can get to the weight work here in a minute then downstairs for two rides today…it is going to be cold downstairs so I may put a long sleeved t-shirt on…the cold is really wearing on me and I think I had the heating pad on every time I stopped and sat for a bit…might have to go to the library tomorrow after I get the new tires on the car since I need a book a day to get through this week…I do hate busy weeks and this one will end after helping my sister in law move Saturday and that will be the last time I move anyone…just getting too damn old to be carrying couches and ranges anymore…so it will be nice to get home from it Saturday afternoon…not much to do today…just need to get moving and get the day started…more later…
Nothing done…
Well…another day of getting nothing done other than shoveling the walks and it looks like I’ll have to shovel the alley to be able to get out Tuesday morning…damn, just want to get the tires on the car so I can stop thinking about it…I know they are going to be better than the all weathers that were on the 94 and I got around okay with those…it looks like it’s going to snow a bit wed and thurs so that will be a good test for the new tires since I’ll be heading into GR both days to take care of Art…I hope the new tires are better than the worn out Blizzaks I had on the 94 since they were still pretty good with 90% of the tread gone…that will make the rest of the winter that hasn’t started at least tolerable…
Data centers are going to kill us…
Well…it appears that build out of data centers everywhere you look to support AI is going to kill us…not only the huge amounts of water they use for cooling…it was estimated that one question to any AI uses 30 gallons of water…maybe that’s why Muskegon Lake is going dry…and just today, IBM’s CEO stated that with an 8 trillion dollar investment in these data centers, companies would need to net 800 billion dollars a year just to pay the interest on that investment…and when they go bust, that’s 8 trillion dollars that can’t be spent on infrastructure or housing…and your tax dollars are subsidizing most of it…so, we’ve decided…or I should say the idiot trump and his minions have decided that giving money to billionaires is more important than healthcare, food, housing and real infrastructure that would make people’s lives better…I don’t think there will be a country left after we throw these assholes out…geez…
December 7th
Well…damn, up at 4 and then out of bed by a little before 6 and I am rushing around here trying to get the weight work and first bike ride in before the F1 race that is on at 8…just poured the first cup of coffee and I’m going to suck that down fast to try to get moving but it’s more a matter of will than coffee…had an okay day yesterday but I have no plans for today other than cleaning the microwave and the rest of the kitchen…I really do hate having to rush around here in the morning…I’m retired after all and should be able to act like it…I will get to a political one this morning, probably during the race if it’s a boring one as they pretty much were all season…not much to do today…just need to get the weight work started and get on the bike before 7 and that gives me 35 minutes to get going…more later…
Crap, I forgot…
Well…crap, I forgot to come back here today…just still not used to being back up again so as soon as I did the first one, it completely slipped my mind until right now…and I did look for a political topic early but didn’t find one…so, I’ll do two tomorrow…today was a pretty easy one but I did have about 4 inches of snow to shovel and that took some time and I did get the weight work and rides in…so I guess today wasn’t a complete loss…my damn right thumb has been killing me lately and I’m pretty sure it’s from shoveling…so I’ll be slathering it with voltaren after I finish this…the last race of the F1 season is on tomorrow morning at 8am and that is going to screw up my schedule sine I like to get the rides in early…I wonder if tomorrow could be the elusive one ride day I’ve been thinking about? Who knows?
December 6th
Well…up at 4:54 this morning and that is not going to be good for my day…pouring the coffee down to try to get moving…slept okay but too damn short but what can you do about it? Had an okay day yesterday but surely didn’t eat enough with just a bowl of soup and a dog for about 700 calories and I really should be eating 1,500 or so…oh, well…didn’t get anything done yesterday but making soup but isn’t that enough? I am going to clean the kitchen today and maybe dust in here but not right now…just need to ease into it and get to the weight work here in 20 minutes or so….the final qualifying for F1 is on at 8:30 so I need to get the 1st ride in before that…I did take some bacon out of the freezer so I can make breakfast for dinner today and use up some of the eggs I have in the fridge…not much to do today…just the normal stuff and cleaning…my bp was good this morning at 117/71 and I wish it would stay that way but I know it won’t…more later…
Good soup…
Well…really didn’t do much today but make soup and clean up from it but that was enough since it takes a couple of hours of standing on my feet…I didn’t put noodles in it as planned since I had a huge amount of ham from using two bones and I even went overboard on the veggies, too, so it came out almost stew like but tasted as good as I can taste which is to say not much…the full instant pot yielded 7 quarts so I froze 4 of them in the spaces opened up by taking the bones out…we might get a little snow melt over the next few days and I only need to drive the car one more time…2.2 miles before it will be safe to drive again…I did call discount and asked them to mount and balance the tires before my appointment so I don’t have to wait through that…
Why would anybody do it?
Well…it hit the news this morning that the architect who was working on the idiot trump’s gauche “ballroom” has quit since it’s kind of hard to even talk to the pissed off toddler that trump is…and a new one has been appointed but that begs the question “why would anybody do it”? Why would you bet the good will of your company on a project everyone hates? Especially since the addition is twice as big as the entire WH even before idiot boy desecrated it by tearing the east wing down…I really hope the moron who took this job kills his company by doing it…there really has to be consequences for conspiring with the idiot to ruin the WH…geez..
December 5th
Well…how the heck can I be running so late at 7:45? Should have the weight work and first ride in by now but I just can’t get going…pouring coffee down and it’s not working at all…I wonder if this will be the elusive one ride day? It’s been so damn cold here that I can’t get warm even with not going outside and shoveling snow…and it gets worse as I age…I may have to buy some long underwear to wear inside…I finally got some cleaning done yesterday but I’m not sure if I’ll get more done today since I’m making ham soup for lunch and that takes a couple of hours…it is nice to have some room in the freezer after taking the 2 ham bones out so I’ll have room to put the next one in after I buy one this week at 89 cents a pound…not much to do today…just need to get off my butt and get the weight work in and get on the bike in the next 20 minutes…man, I am getting tired of having so much to do every day…more later…
